If anyone want to share your plans if nothing happens, or Bridge Act happens please share. I’ve been thinking a lot and I would love to hear from you guys.

I’ll be ok with anything as long as we can travel. However, even then, I’ll be traveling around to find a place to settle.

If we get nothing. I’m planning to leave. I’m not young anymore and I feel that I’m just wasting my life here. If I’ve learned anything from this experience is that this situation makes me depressed. I can’t plan my future because there’s a big “?” surrounding my future. I hate how every career development conversation will lead to your goal for the next 5-10 years. I can’t set goals because I can’t see my future, and that’s preventing me from moving forward career wise. I can’t tell my manager that. So I just say nothing or BS something. I also don’t want to marry while out of status. There’s so much stigma involved and I just can’t bring myself to do it.

My plan after leaving? Luckily, I’m from a developing country. While I don’t agree with the politics but I guess I can make a living and finally live without having anything holding me back.

I agree with you there. In my mind I am stuck, I want to figure out what i want to do with my life (A bit late at 27 but oh well) yet I'm not even sure what happens after these next 2 years.

Its hard to properly plan a dream or a goal when there's so much unknown, not to mention I went so many years (18-23) with pretty much no hope at the time so it really set me up to have a hard time trying to figure this out now at an older age. So here I am lol.

In terms of my plan, my parents are adjusting through citizen daughter 21+ once that goes through that should free me from being the only member in our family with a steady income and allow me to finally move out. I love my parents but at the same time I would like to figure things out on my own so once they are able to legally work, my brother who is 15, can take over taking care of them and free me up a bit. Sounds pretty terrible the way its put but its just how i feel right now.

From there I might still stay here or not i guess, I don't know that yet. I came in with inspection so if i were to find someone marriage is a possibility but for now looking unlikely.

I'm not staying if we are stuck with the Bridge Act.

I can't see myself being 40 and still trying to get status. I would have what, 20-30 years left and I would have lived over half my life being undocumented and worrying all that time?

Fuck that, so much life wasted, and you only live once.

With any luck, I am going to go to Canada if nothing happens.

Bridge Act is worse than nothing, because after three years we are not "kids / young adults" anymore. Most of us would be 24-27 or older and people would say "Hey, you're adults now, you can deal with it" or "Welcome to the adult world, life isn't fair" bs.

My plan is to just continue working on my career. I recently took an amazing job as a software developer even though I have but a few months left on my ead, but days after the injunction came, so ill try to move up the ranks in my company during the next 2 years. I have a girlfriend right now who is adjusting her status, and both of our lawyers have advised me to marry her within the next year to adjust status at the same time, but I just dont think I am ready for that step with her. I guess things might change depending on what happens in March. Maybe Ill be married by the end of the year. In the meantime Ill just work , work, work.

lol, i from one of those shithole countries as well but also have citizenship from another developed country. Daca is valid till next year, just trying to save money right now. If a reasonable solution is not met, I'm definitely moving somewhere else. I'ts just hard to say where because I have not traveled outside of the country in a decade.

I'm waiting to see 2020 election results. End of 2019 my USC brother will be 21 and graduating from college. He'll be able to sponsor my parents and also support them so it'll leave me freedom to leave if I wanted to. In the meantime, I think I'll apply for Canada and see if that goes anywhere. I will do just fine in the shadows as I can manage my own businesses. However, it's the part of not having the freedom to travel around the world that pisses me off.
